Attack On The Amish by David Pekrul

In memory of those killed and families destroyed, when a madman came to Amish Country, October, 2006

Now, what was the point of this horrible crime?
(They sing Amazing Grace),
In Lancaster County, and so out of line,
(They sing Amazing Grace),
Attacking the Amish, a people of peace,
(They sing Amazing Grace),
Then killing himself so his torment would cease,
(They sing Amazing Grace).

The Amish, so gentle, so good and so kind,
(They bow their heads in prayer),
A more loving people you never could find,
(They bow their heads in prayer),
A schoolhouse of children, just wanting to learn,
(They bow their heads in prayer),
For sins he committed, in Hell he will burn,
(They bow their heads in prayer).

In long lines of carriages, burying the dead,
(They're seeking to forgive),
"The Lord is my shepherd", is what they hear read,
(They're seeking to forgive),
As soon as it's over, they're back to the land,
(They're seeking to forgive),
Like brothers and sisters, they live hand-in-hand,
(They're seeking to forgive).

They didn't deserve it, was nothing they did,
(They live a quiet life),
For violence and murder are things they forbid,
(They live a quiet life),
As days become months and the months become years,
(They live a quiet life),
They'll always remember this day with their tears,
(They live a quiet life).
